dance with me

Recently I was coaching someone through making decisions on what their next step is in their business. For years they had been known for one talent, yet in their hearts they were ready to follow a new path and discover new opportunities. There was a lot of apprehension as they wanted to know the how and when it would unfold. They knew their old way of living and wanted to know their new way too. We discussed how comfortable we can get in our current roles and allow fear to hold us back from growing. Often, even if we are in an uncomfortable relationship, job, or home, we know what is expected and tend to stay there rather than follow our hearts. We discussed the fact that the Universe always has our backs, yet we WANT to know the HOW and WHEN something is going to come to fruition. I realize in times of stress, I want to LEAD the way. I want to know the how’s and when’s of the job, the relationship, whatever I desire and forget to lean in on the Universe and follow its lead rather than be the lead. Now I am a doer and I love doing. Yet I can do and still allow. I’m not asking you to stop doing, yet rather I am asking you to dance with life rather than resist it. Life is like a dance and the more I flow into the rhythm of it and go with the twists, turns, dips, and lifts, the more enjoyable it is. The more I trust the lead dancer (the Universe) the more graceful my dance is. When I can close my eyes and TRUST all will be well is when I can relax into the arms of the Universe and glide through life as if I were floating. Care to dance with me?I invite you to dance through this next week by:Starting your day by doing a happy dance first thing in the morning. Smile, think of what you love about yourself, those close to you and the world in general and move your body with gratitude for life.Remembering to lean into life. When you are afraid of something, and often our fears show up biggest as we are close to actualizing our desires, lean into knowing there is something bigger at work for you and knows your dreams and desires and wants you to live your life fully.Mostly, my wish for you is to trust in yourself as when you trust yourself all decision are easier to make as you know that life is a journey of amazing experiences that you get to choose if you want to shift them or nurture them. Through trust, you get to choose the key relationships in your life and nurture them. Through trust, you get to DANCE! Until next time, I’ll meet you on the dance floor of life.
